When I read the title I immediately thought it was more stuff from the super genius guys, so I went to watch the videos and was shocked by the amount of fights, the videos are many hours long which means that it is an event that consumes many hours a day and even I found it interesting that there are commentators in the fight, it looks like football games in which the commentator comments on every movement of the ball and the players on the field, without a doubt it's something very good for players of Capcom games, it reminds me of my old ones There were times when I played on the computer, whenever I saw that it was a Capcom game I was more motivated to play
but I was irritated by fighting games like this that these guys are playing because when the opponent throws a fireball, for example, the only options to defend are: jump or also throw another fireball or water ball, there are no options to create a shield or other type of defense, years have passed since capcom started with fighting games but it seems to me that there is still this part that needs to be improved, I don't know what the qualifiers are like in this tournament, but it's probably a 1 vs 1 fight in two rounds, the winner advances to another phase, I could be wrong about that. It would be very complicated for casinos to place betting options on this tournament
Only problem with these are that i see them purely as reaction time games, and that doesn't leave any kind of followable strategy for most people, as there are only so many 2 dimensional moves you can use against each character. I don't see that gambling on these would be enjoyable, even if you were hard core player yourself. One bad day would affect reaction time significally, and there's only so much you can train.
At least with some shooting games you combat as a group, so you can polish 3d space tactics. But i don't have anything against the fact these are a thing, and they should be a growing thing, they are just not for me. But i rather see huge Civilization games being played like chess.
And i have to say i was impressed to see how big prices they have, but then again that shouldn't surprise me as AAA+ games have massive revenue and they are only going to grow while every year there are more and more players.
